We’ll explain what the changes are, as well as how to adapt to make\u00a0your Twitter profile even more appealing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n To switch to the new Twitter layout, just log into the social networking site\u00a0and click on the link you see at the top. If you can’t find it, go to the new profiles section in the\u00a0About <\/em>page<\/a> and click on Get it now<\/em>. You’ll be redirected to the homepage of your account, where you can activate the new profile by clicking on Turn it on!<\/em><\/p>\n The new Twitter is putting all its money\u00a0on visual impact. Just like Facebook, the social network that’s all about tweets has\u00a0decided to give priority to photos and videos. You’ll notice a much greater emphasis\u00a0on images in your timeline, and now the same’s happening\u00a0with profiles.<\/p>\n The first thing you should do is change your homepage images to make them fit better with the new design. The right dimensions are:<\/p>\n The size of the Twitter profile images <\/em><\/p>\n Twitter is clearly pushing towards the personalization of your profile page,<\/strong> but it still provides you with a gallery of Flickr\u00a0images<\/a> to choose from for your header, if you prefer to use something a bit more generic.<\/p>\n An image taken with a fish eye lens can have great impact as a\u00a0new header <\/em><\/p>\n My advice is to choose two images that go together regardless of their arrangement. In any case, the header will be displayed in full<\/strong> on all devices.<\/p>\n With the new Twitter profile, you can pin a tweet<\/strong>, or make it always appear at the top of your page. This is what other social network users will first see when they go to your profile, probably even before the biography, which is now relegated to the left of the screen.<\/p>\n Choose a tweet that\u00a0represents you<\/strong> and that you want others to read first. Another option is to pin\u00a0an image<\/strong> to give your profile even greater visual impact.<\/p>\n Menu for pinning\u00a0a tweet to\u00a0your profile <\/em><\/p>\n Also, if you haven’t already done so, take this chance\u00a0to write a biography, your\u00a0sort of (mini) introduction on Twitter. Although it’s not on the new profile page, when a user clicks on your name on their timeline, the first thing they’ll\u00a0see is a pop up with your biography above the header.<\/p>\n The other new feature is a timeline of tweets on your profile<\/strong>, which now shows your\u00a0most successful activity\u00a0(most retweeted or marked as favorites) as larger tweets.<\/p>\n Retweeted or favorited tweets\u00a0appear larger <\/em><\/p>\n With all these changes, Twitter hopes to encourage the 44% of accounts that have never tweeted<\/a> anything to get out there and start tweeting.\u00a0If you’ve only\u00a0posted a few tweets, making\u00a0your profile more appealing should encourage you to start posting more regularly.<\/p>\n Going down the list, you’ll also find profiles of the people you’ve recently followed<\/strong>. Hopefully, this means that whoever visits your profile will follow you immediately, and you can do the same by visiting the profiles of others.<\/p>\n Profiles of the last people you followed<\/em><\/p>\n As mentioned, Twitter’s finally realized that, in many cases,\u00a0a picture is worth much more than 140 characters<\/strong>. Now, they’ve also added a tab on your profile where you can see all the media files you’ve uploaded\u00a0on the social network.<\/p>\n In this respect, we’ve got two pieces of advice. First, clean out\u00a0embarrassing\u00a0images<\/strong> and videos that you don’t want to appear in your profile. You can also delete tweets by clicking on the trash can icon, as shown in the image.<\/p>\n Clear images and tweets that you don’t want to appear<\/em><\/p>\n The other tip is to liven\u00a0up the multimedia content of your account<\/strong>, because a profile with poor\u00a0images and videos is unattractive, perhaps even more so than one without a description.<\/p>\n Along with fast access to photos and videos, you’ll\u00a0also find buttons for viewing tweets that you’ve added to your favorites and lists. One annoying thing, however, is that the filter automatically removes the conversation<\/strong> from the main screen of your profile: whoever\u00a0wants to see them will have to click on the appropriate tab. On the other hand, you don’t have to worry about removing\u00a0conversations that you think are clogging your timeline!<\/p>\n As noted by many, the redesign of Twitter is very similar to that of Facebook,\u00a0putting images front and\u00a0center on your profile<\/strong>, rather than the more “volatile” tweet. The home page of your account is now much more personalized, hoping to provide even more information about you.<\/p>\n Whether you like the change or not, the new profile pages have much better visual impact, although they’re perhaps a bit light on the information side. In any case, any redesign brings with it new opportunities<\/strong>, which, more often that not, are\u00a0worth taking advantage of!<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter @zoltan__v<\/a><\/p>\n The new Twitter profile doesn’t just\u00a0change the aesthetics of the social network; it also brings new opportunities for users. Let’s see how you can make the most of it. Already in the pipeline for a few months, Twitter has made the new profile available to all users, inviting them to switch to the new interface. … Continue reading “3 tips for optimizing the new Twitter profile”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2042,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[2441],"tags":[2358],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-65529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-how-to","tag-app-subdomain-redirectiontwitter"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65529","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2042"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65529"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65529\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":330856,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65529\/revisions\/330856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65529"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=65529"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=65529"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=65529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Activate the new Twitter profile<\/h3>\n

There are endless way to combine a cover image and a picture, giving you the chance to have a creative and original profile that sets you apart from other users.
